This is V.L.X. Number 80, Heart of the Earth. We are in Matthew chapter 12, verses 38 to 45.

God give you his peace, and nomi patri, saffili, spiritu, amen. God, our Lord, we ask the grace that all of our

intentions, actions, actions, be directed purely to the service and praise of your divine majesty.

In nomi pachi, se Spiti to Santee, amen.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying,

Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.

But he answered them,

An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign,

but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the

belly of the great fish, so will the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the

earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it,

for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold something greater than Jonah is here.

The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it,

for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a person, it passes through waterless

places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, I will return to my house from which I came,

and when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with

seven other spirits more evil than itself,

and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first.

So also will it be with this evil generation.

Thus are the words of the Holy Gospel.
